My two clubs both do great rides in the Philadelphia suburbs. Suburban Cyclists Unlimited,
www.suburbancyclists.org, has the Quad County Metric (May 4) and the Lake Nockamixon Century
(September 14). Central Bucks Bike Club, www.cbbikeclub.org, has the wonderful Covered Bridges Ride
October 12 (not to be confused with the Lancaster PA Covered Bridges Ride).
There's also the Princton Bike Event (Princeton Freewheelers, August
2), the Shore Fire Century (August 23, White Clay Bike Club).
There are a number of decent rides in South Jersey but I find the support and food stops generally
lacking: Pinelands Triple Loop (May 10, Shore Cycle Club), Bridgeton Zoo Ride (August 9, South
Jersey Wheelmen), Jersey Devil (September 20, South Jersey Wheelmen), Belleplain Fall Century
(October 4, Shore Cycle Club).
Hope this helps. --Roy Zipris
